Summertime in Florida means daytime high temperatures in the 90s – it’s 94f / 35c right now (2pm) and that’s too hot for our cats. They go outside first thing in the morning when it’s still below 80f / 27c, and then come in once it’s too hot, until the evening … so right now all three are sleeping indoors.
And sometimes it’s still too hot, so in that case it’s best to stick a leg out!
Before flying home we walked from the hotel to the Liberty Bell and got to photo the bell before it got too busy (and learn some of the history, which is more wound in American slavery than freedom from the English King!)
In the morning we transferred to a lovely hotel right next to the Liberty Bell (which we visited); we also did a food tour which was quite poor – half an hour walk from the meeting place to first food, and very little of the food was “iconic” or even good!
But in the evening we took a short walk to the Chinese Lantern Festival that happened to be running during our visit; a lot like the Asian Lantern Festival that happened in Sanford Zoo in 2021 and 2022, but nicely different with its own style too – very colorful!
